You guys are catching up to me, and my truck is 10!

 

At 88k, and 6 or 7 hundred if I remember right.

 

Can't break 'em if you don't drive 'em. :lol:

My mom's got a 1998 Cadillac Deville that my dad bought her in 1997 with 55,000 miles. Then my dad is driving my former first car a 2005 Subaru WRX with 27,000 miles.

Nice - will be able to pass that history along to some lucky person in the future. I'll be surviving on those type of vehicles from here on out. I've sworn to never buy anything new EVER again. 1973 is my cutoff year. :)

 

 

There's still quite a few low mile vehicles out there. Some 70+ years old with double digit miles on them. Of course, none of us could ever afford to own one.

 

On eBay right now ...

 

'63 Corvette with 1,820 miles! :noway:http://www.ebay.com/itm/1963-Chevrolet-Corvette-/142177153648?forcerrptr=true&hash=item211a6b3270:g:W5gAAOSwB09YJnSm&item=142177153648

 

Or a '29 Benz with 3,484: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1929-Mercedes-Benz-Other-GAZELLE-SSK-SUPER-NICE-ORIGINAL-UNRESTORED-GEM-/262754648363?forcerrptr=true&hash=item3d2d65c12b:g:AggAAOSw4GVYStGp&item=262754648363

That Benz would be far cooler if it wasn't a replica.

 

That Corvette is NUTS

 

The Silverado. is a beast in this winter weather...really enjoying 4 HI and AUTO on my 4x4 system.

 

Weather should warm up next week, maybe then I can put parts on. Got a color matched tailgate handle, a new air dam (slightly cracked mine under the license plate, can't have that), a new Z71 Grille, skid plates, and Silverstar Ultra headlights...kinda excited for those. He's gonna look SHARP!

 

Heading out to Chris's neck of the woods in a week and a half for my most anticipated mod. CANNOT WAIT

I wish my truck had been taken better care of by us in the past and was under 200k miles.

Miles have nothing to do with it.

They do, but like I said, better care is part of it.

City vs. highway driving is more a factor of total miles driven. City driving will decimate any vehicle LONG before 200k miles.

 

Chevor's truck is a testament to highway miles - it's alot easier on everything to just maintain a steady speed and let the odometer spin.

Power came back this morning and 15 minutes later had 2 dead truck clusters in my hand, repaired one and refurbished the other.

      2026 DENALI 6.2L

      By pyoung62 · Posted

      I agree with Tim.  As tech heavy as engines are these days, no way I’d be an early buyer of the new 6.6.  Of course, I bought my ‘26 Denali w/the 6.2 after dumping my Tundra with it’s defective 3.5 liter imploding engine disaster, so I’m a little gun-shy.  That said, my 6.2 has been rock solid.  I don’t drive it like I do my BMW Z4 M40i, but I don’t baby it either.  I got a V8 for a reason.  But I’m averaging 18 around town and 22 highway.  I have seen 24 highway as well when I wasn’t loaded up heavy.  Considering my Tundra with the twin turbo V6 only got 14.5 in town and 17 on the road, I’ll take the 6.2 all day, every day.  If I were you, I’d grab a ‘26 while you can.  Inventories are probably gonna start dropping and I’ll bet the deals will start looking sweeter as well.

      Can you add a 360° Cameras hard button to a 2021 Sierra?

      By ShowMeShooter1332 · Posted

      I am curious if anyone has figured out a way to add an hard button AUX or 360 Camera switch to the center row of switches. I have a 2021 AT4, and want to split the hill decent button and add a 360 camera button so that you don't have to go into the center display and locate the camera functionality, etc...   My father's 2024 Yukon XL AT4 and it has a hard button, see below. I found this thread on the Yukons, but it seems like there may not be a part number for the 2021 sierras. https://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/255339-adding-hard-button-for-camera-on-2021/ Anyone else figured this out. Seems like it would need to be a custom switch!   I am getting ready to install the auto stop/start eliminator, so would be nice to knock them out at once.     Upvote1Downvote0Go to comments

      Oil Consumption

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Through the years it hasn't been my typical method as I tried to drop oil on an engine that was hot from having been worked, however that was not always practical and had to fire up a unit and let it warm up reasonably well and drop the oil when I had the time to do it but am referring to not only vehicles but a variety of farm equipment and highway tractors etc. However on a vehicle where one is crawling under it and the exhaust is nearby to ones body and if wanting to pull the plug without danger of being hit with boiling hot oil or attempting to remove a HOT oil filter, its sure safer and easier to not have everything smoking hot and can remove the filter right away when under the vehicle and let it all drain. Of course its not the end of the world if a bit of oil stays in the engine that might have eventually found its way out, I like to get out as much as possible but any oil changes that take place in shops would rarely be sitting around for very long at all before the plug is thrown back in and filter slapped on and oil poured in and sent out the door quick like. There would be very little time spent ( assuming they even did it ) in starting the engine with oil to fill the filter, then waiting to verify the level on the stick. A good reason to check ones oil level shortly after a shop changed the oil on a vehicle just to make sure its correct and to look under for any oil around the drain plug or filter.
